That's what I thought unsanctioned meant.  So what does sanctioned or unsanctioned have to do with the car show shooting?  Is this just typical media hype?

Personally, I think it's good for the CLASSIC car guys that the media differentiated. As soon as I read that, I immediately figured it really had nothing to do with our type of events. We've all seen photos of guys in newer street racers leaving shows and losing control. That's one reason I usually don't do open shows that have no year-of-manufacture limitations. It's just a whole different world.

That certainly is a huge dilemma, that car clubs or organisations can be held responsible for incidents. Our local American Car club (has been going for nearly 40 years now with 50+ members) had huge trouble a few years ago, when they held an official sanctioned weekend meet and had a registered car cruise in the evening. several participants started doing burn outs in the exit area. even though it was already in open traffic the club got a criminal complaint and fine. luckily no shooting, but as times are getting crazier all the time in Europe, knife attacks may be the new shooting over here...
